Apples to.. cars.
So why don’t we have a single clothing item that fits every purpose? We had 10 thousands of years to improve on it, yet we use specialized jacket in winter and a swimsuit in the summer for swimming.
Specialization and generalization are fundamental principles we live by, and both can have value, depending on context.
Less common with individuals but a lot of households in the US have two vehicles that are optimized for different purposes. I did for about 20 years--but finally sold the "fun" two-seater once I stopped commuting.

>> Imagine we took this approach to cars
An RV with a bike rack towing a car.
A convertible is for sinny days, it has no roof at all, you should use another car on rainy days.
A Smart is a 2 seater for trips to the city, its easy to find parking
And a Hummer is for trips to the countryside, it won't fit into any parking spot in London.
You should buy all three and use the right tool for the job
